7 Thoughts Every OSU Student Had This Football Season

So the NCAA is going to give every Big 12 team a night game except for us?

7 Thoughts Every OSU Student Had This Football Season
The Odyssey

With our conference football season coming to a close this Saturday, I wanted to give some of my thoughts I have had this season. Maybe some of y'all had the same! Some thoughts are good, some are bad, that's just college football for you.

1. "Is College GameDay ever going to come to campus while I'm here?"

ESPN College GameDay is a HUGE deal. You get to make signs, get on TV, wake up really early to get a good spot...did I mention you could get on TV?

2. "What rank are we going to be this week?"

There were a few weeks when OSU wasn't ranked, but now we are ranked in the top ten (God bless the committee). Rankings depend on which bowl game each teams play, and I really want OSU to go to the Sugar Bowl again. I mean, it's in New Orleans, and I live eight hours away. Road trip?

3. "Why are the games in the morning or midafternoon?"

This one was the most asked question between us OSU fans because all anyone wanted was a night game. Is that too much to ask for, NCAA? I think being 9-2 is worth at least one night game!!

4. "What should I wear for the game?"

The first couple of games were pretty hot, so I knew what I was going to wear but wearing shorts...in October? This doesn't seem right. I shouldn't be worrying if my shorts are clean in mid-October.

5. "Where am I sitting?"

I'm one of those students who stands up the entire game, so I knew I wanted to sit pretty close, and every game I would be at least two rows behind the paddle people. Of course, my friends would help save the seats. Go friends!

6. "What's the quarter/score?"

I love football, but sometimes I would space out at the games. Also, if it was hot, I just wanted to know how much longer til I can go get a water at halftime. Sometimes they can go by fast but after every flag thrown it can get really really slow.

7. "What is offense/defense doing?"

Every game, the Cardiac Cowboys would do something that had me on edge. It was either fumbles and dropped passes or missing tackles and letting the opponent run up the middle. I always asked myself this question.

I'm sad that this season is coming to an end, but I'm happy with how the team did! Hopefully, there are a few night games next season, or at least before I graduate in 2020?

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
